Bangkok is a capital of Thailand. It has the other name “Krung Thep Maha Nakhon”. It means “City of Angel” Bangkok is located in a central plain in the area of Chao Phraya Delta. It is a center of administration and business. There are 10 millions population in Bangkok. The most of them are temporary population of Bangkok. They move to the city for working. Bangkok is a modern capital while some parts of it still be old and reserved. Rattanakosin Island is a site of the old town where worthwhile for walking around. I started my trip at Wat Phra Kaeo or the other name The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It is in the same area of The Grand Palace.

Tuk Tuk is a famous vehicle in Bangkok. Once it was a vehicle of James Bond Visa Commercial. I started walking at The City Pillar Shrine. I walked on a footpath of the Na Phra Lan Road.

I spent times in the area of the Wat Phra Kaeo each times more than 2 or 3 hours but I could just see some part of it. I have visited there many times and I found that it was crowded with the tourists. The most of tourists were Chinese. Greeting for Tourism!!!
